The Foundation was established in 1974 after it became apparent that one of the greatest needs of paraplegic and physically disabled persons was access to low-cost finance to help them become self-sufficient and independent. The concept of self-help, rather than charity, was one of the strong points of the original appeal which set up the Foundation and still holds good today. The foundations focus is to improve the quality of life of physically disabled people in NZ by providing affordable financial assistance. Over the years the Foundation has proved its worth in providing low-cost loans totalling over $25.6 million, numbering 1198 loans, with the current average loan being over approximately $74,000.
